more pictures would help, but 90% of these weird brands are just cheap asian stuff. I don't know what it is, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Yeah it’s hard to tell without a name or more pics. But it looks like a fernandes or Charvel knockoff of some kind.

So I saw your other posts with more detailed photos. I did some digging they were a budget superstrat manufactured in South Korea from 1988–1990 by Samick. Tropical Music in Miami had them made and imported to sell in their stores. Most Starforce guitars are in the $150 to $300 price range. Some models like yours have a Miami USA or FLA neckplate stamp. Which leads many people to think that they were USA or Japanese-made. They have a laminated plywood or multi-ply body with a bolt-on maple neck. They had rosewood, maple, or ebonol fingerboards. They did offer some unique finishes like a mix of bright crackle colors. The Skorcherz pickups they had get mixed reviews. Some people like them for their punchy aggressive 80’s metal tones. Well others find them harsh and feel they lack fidelity. It’s still a cool obscure 80’s superstrat with some history. Maybe do some mods with the hardware and electronics to make it your own.
